Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Gaudencio Marques kicked off to start the match. Feliberto Geleberto received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 4th minute. Aquiles Padro tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Cecilio Argina came up free with the goalie in the 5th minute, the Carrayalde AFC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Cecilio Argina couldn't finish the play. Fátima's Aquiles Padro played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Cirilo Erramun in the 7th minute of play. Cecilio Argina struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Aquiles Padro didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Carrayalde AFC.

Aquiles Padro came out of the goal in the 12th minute to try and stop a shot by Carrayalde AFC's Cecilio Argina.

Aquiles Padro took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Cirilo Erramun, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 18 minutes into the match, Carrayalde AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Gaudencio Marques came free, but Javier Policarpio reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Cirilo Erramun in the 23rd minute of play forced Fátima's goalkeeper Aquiles Padro to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

After having played for 30 minutes, Camilo Victoro managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal.

Aquiles Padro stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Cecilio Argina's shot from short distance in the 36th minute. After a defensive mix-up in Carrayalde AFC's zone, Camilo Victoro stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

In the 44th match minute, Carrayalde AFC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Feliberto Quintin to maneuver through the defense. Gaudencio Marques was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 45th minute. Fátima's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Cirilo Erramun to make the kick off. 59 minutes into the match, Fátima's Gaudencio Marques sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Javier Policarpio narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
